desi9999 Posted October 8, 2013 Report Share Posted October 8, 2013 Hello, I was laid-off in November 2012. I received the severance pay for 3 months (up to Feb 2013) I received offer in February 2013 and they applied for visa transfer. It was approved and I received I-797 and the I-94 with that notice. I have worked for the new employer but my passport has previous employer's stamp and it will expire on January 2014. So I have to go back to India and get it stamped. My worry is I have been in US 'Out of Status' for this long. Will this create any problem at the time of stamping? Thanks in advance. P.S. I have traveled out of US for business trips and came back without any questions/ problems. Link to comment

omshiv Posted October 8, 2013 Report Share Posted October 8, 2013 Who said you were out of status? I don't think so. Did your new company's H1 came with I-94? What date was it? Link to comment
